General Comments

WIC is in poor repair and shall not be used to cool or hold TCS foods until repair can be verified by EHS. Discussed with PIC today the importance or reconfiguring the WIC to be separate from the grab and go for customer canned beverages, as perpetual opening of the doors allows cold air to escape and degrades its capacity to maintain at 41 or below. Facility is permitted to conclude lunch service for the day as there is adequate equipment to cool and hold TCS foods via the reach ins and blast chillers while awaiting WIC repair. All TCS foods have been evacuated from the WIC during inspection. Facility will remain closed for the weekend while repairs are completed and EHS will return on Monday to verify the facility has adequate equipment to cool and hold TCS foods.
